1. Pestilent BreathCasting Value: 5+

Place the flame template with the narrow end in base contact with the caster and the wide end anywhere in his arc of sight. Any models touched by the template suffer a Strength 2 hit with no armour save allowed. The spell may be cast while the Wizard is in close combat, but instead of using the template one enemy in base contact takes D6 Strength 2 hits with no armour saves allowed.

2. Bless with FilthCasting Value: 7+

The caster causes a friendly unit within 12" to have Poisoned Attacks in close combat. The spell may be cast on a friendly unit that is already engaged in close combat. The spell lasts until the end of the next player turn. If the unit already has Poisoned Attacks, the warriors will cause an automatic wound on a To Hit roll of 5+ instead of the normal 6+.

3. WitherCasting Value: 8+

The caster may choose a single unit within 12", including a unit in close combat. The Toughness value of all the models in the unit is reduced by -1. The effects last for the rest of the game and any creatures reduced to a Toughness of 0 are removed as casualties.

4. VermintideCasting Value: 8+

Place the large round template in base contact with the caster. Move the template in a straight line 4D6" away from the caster. The template cannot cross impassable terrain or water features. All units touched by the template as it moves suffer 3D6 Strength 2 hits. The caster is never hit and a unit he is with is only hit if another of its models is touched by the template. The spell then disappears. This spell may be cast while the Wizard is in combat, however, no template is used. Instead choose a single enemy unit in base contact with the caster. Hits are distributed as per shooting.

5. Cloud of CorruptionCasting Value: 11+

Roll a dice for every unit within 12" of the caster (friend or foe), even if they are in close combat. Enemy units are affected on a D6 roll of 2+, friendly models are affected on a roll of 4+, and models from Clan Pestilens (friend or foe) are affected on a roll of 5+. Each unit that is affected suffers D6 Strength 5 hits with no armour saves allowed. Roll separately for each unit.

6. PlagueCasting Value: 13+

Choose one enemy unit, within 18" of the caster, even if it is engaged in close combat. Each model in the affected unit must take a Toughness test. If the test is failed, the model suffers a single wound with no armour save allowed. If cast on a unit engaged in close combat, all units involved in the fight (friend or foe) will be affected. After working out the effects of the spell and removing casualties, roll a dice on the chart below and continue to apply the results until the spell ends or there are no targets within range.
